OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE


Building better data takes a village—and no one understands that better than the Open Source Software (OSS) team. We unlock the door between Snowflake and the open-source developer community, leading projects that bring contributors together to push the entire data ecosystem forward. Because when one developer wins, we all win.

MEET THE TEAMS


Check out the teams behind the scenes in San Mateo, Bellevue, and around the world.
Open Source Data Analytics
First comes data, then comes analytics. We build in a handful of open-source data analytics communities, including Iceberg and Polaris, delivering capabilities to advance open table formats and the data lakehouse ecosystem, taking analytics and the industry to the next level. 
Streamlit
We make data sleek, shareable, and intuitive. As the minds behind Streamlit, an open-source framework, our work is centered around making app creation and data visualization a walk in the park.
Snowpark
Languages and libraries are the bridges between our platform and the open-source community, and Snowpark paves the way. We provide runtime environments to make sure Snowflake can speak everyone’s (programming) language. In addition, we’re the primary maintainers of Modin, ensuring that pandas, NumPy, and Polars reach their full potential to make handling datasets of all scales and sizes a breeze.

GET TO KNOW US

We’re all about democratizing data — and open minds and open source are the keys to making it happen. We’re the creatives, coders, and collaborators working to build solutions, break down barriers, and crowd-source innovation. Because great data isn’t built in a day —  or without a little help from our friends.
Our team tackles the unique mandate of working on an open-source library - one that empowers a passionate Python community as well as Snowflake’s customers to bring their data apps to life. It's a testament to the innovative culture here that we are entrusted with significant influence, not just in implementation, but driving project ideas and priority too. Consistently developing new skills and solving challenging problems alongside Snowflake’s kind, enthusiastic, and intelligent engineers has been a privilege!"
